Disaccharide formula
2 C6 H12 O6 —> C12 H22 O11 + H2O
Polysaccharide
Long chain of simple sugars
Uses for carbohydrates
Uses energy
Lipids
Pentose=sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogen bases
Triglycerides shape
E
Saturated fats
Single bonds between all carbon atoms
Unsaturated fats
Double bonds between some carbon atoms
Smallest part of proteins
Amino acids
Steroids
4 interlocking carbon rings
3 parts of amino acids
Triglycerides, Phospholipids, and Steroids
Nitrogen bases of DNA and RNA
Adenine = both
Thymine = DNA
Cytosine = both
Guanine = both
Uracil = RNA
Sugars in RNA and DNA
RNA = ribose, DNA = deoxyribose
Nitrogen base pairing
A pairs T, C pairs G, A pairs U
